Resveratrol can help you with your New Year’s resolution

[Cristiana Paul]

Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by. To start off the new year, I thought I'd share some interesting information about resveratrol from from my last newsletter:

Resveratrol can help you with your New Year’s resolution

Here’s some new research about Resveratrol.

Resveratrol may help reduce weight gain and support fat loss in the following ways:

1. Stimulating an increase in the fat burning centers of the cells (called mitochondria). The more furnaces we have the more fuel we can burn.

2. Stimulating fat release from the fat cells. That way you have a better chance of making stored fat available to be burned.

3. Reducing the conversion of excess carbohydrates into fat, which may easily get stored if we are not active enough.

4. Reduce levels of the hormone insulin which “tells” the body to store fat.

Most importantly, one study showed that resveratrol reduced some of the detrimental effect of being overweight and eating excess calories when it comes to liver or heart damage, and also reduced risk of diabetes (by reducing blood glucose and insulin)
In addition, we have heard from many sources, and I elaborated in my book chapters, how resveratrol may promote longevity and reduce the risk of diseases that increase with aging, such as cancer, brain degeneration, cardiovascular events or inflammatory diseases (for ex. arthritis or auto-immune).
